Does the policy apply to the vendors use and maintenance manuals normally issued with COTS equipment?
See the Section 7 of Attachment 1 on Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) systems. “When acquisition and product life cycle support requirements involve the procurement of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) items and associated product/technical data, Acquisition Managers should contract for the delivery of the data and documentation in digital form and/or access to the data and documentation as provided digitally from the contractor.
